Three of them – main-event winner Benson Henderson and co-main-event loser Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, as well as Elji Mitsuoka – could be out up to six months.

The UFC, which served as its own regulatory body for the overseas event, today confirmed the suspensions with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

UFC 144 took place this past Saturday, Feb. 26, at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. The main card aired on pay-per-view (on Feb. 25 due to the time difference), and FX and Facebook carried the prelims. Because no regulatory body was available, the UFC acted as its own under the direction of UFC executive and former Nevada State Athletic Commission head Marc Ratner.

Henderson, who defeated Frankie Edgar via decision to win the UFC lightweight title, is suspended 180 days due to possible hand and left-foot fractures. A doctor can clear him early, but regardless, he’s suspended 45 days with no contact during training for 30 days for precautionary reasons.

Jackson’s 180-day suspension is the result of a possible right-knee injury, though he, too, can be cleared early. Regardless, he’s suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days.

The same goes for Mitsuoka, who needs a his nose cleared to avoid a 180-day suspension. Regardless, he’s also suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
